Think about all serving military personnel

You know, I was watching the news yesterday, and it dawned on me that all over the world, whether it be East, West, North or South, a person serving in the military is still someone's loved one.
Here in the West, we tend to think about our military families and friends, but at any given time during the day or night, someone out there fighting, for whatever cause, is risking their life.
In Syria today, no matter which side they are fighting on, someone may lose his or her life too soon.
A mother, father, child, may be facing the horror of losing someone so dear to them at any time during the conflict.
Let's spare a thought for each and every man or woman at war in the world and hope that one day, it will all cease and we will see the utter futility of making war with one another.
Peace

Canada Day Cards From The Provinces
Canada day will soon be here, in fact it's celebrated on 1st July.
This year, I thought it would be a great idea to create some greeting cards for each of the Canadian provinces.
I decided to go very patriotic, and have used the Canadian Flag stripes and a Canada Goose with a maple leaf over its heart.
So if you live in any of the following places .....
Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec,  Saskatchewan, Northwest territories or Yukon, you can find your perfect Happy Canada Card here...

Memorial Day USA

Hi there,
Don't forget it's Memorial Day in America on Monday May 28th 2012.
It's always a day of mixed emotions, especially as each year, more of our brave service men & women have given their lives in the service of their country.
We will never forget them.
God Bless America

Humor versus sentiment in a greeting card.

Well hello all,
Hope you all had a good Easter break & didn't make yourself too sick with the chocolate eggs!
I would really like to know, who prefers a sentimental greeting card and who prefers a humorous greeting card?
I try & make both, and for Mother's Day & Father's Day, I have included the two types.
It's impossible to read someone's mind when it comes to finding a paper
greeting card, as we all have such different tastes, but it would be nice to know what you think.
If you can find the time to visit my online card store here...

and check out the ones that I made recently, it would be lovely to have your opinion in the comments section of my blog.
Best wishes

Cool Kids Cookware, get your children cooking, it's fun!

Cat & Dog relationship

If you have ever owned both a cat & a dog at the same time, you will know only too well what this card verse is all about!

Ice cool cat with stony glare,
Sits atop the bedroom stair,
Silent tail moves to and fro,
Eyes fixed on the dog below.
Cowering canine six treads down,
Knits his brow in wrinkled frown,
Never dares to move an inch,
The feline glare just makes him flinch.
A standoff, no negotiation,
His whine expresses his frustration,
And so he sits, too scared to climb,
She'll let him through ...
All in good time!
The card will be in my card store soon..

Humor is the best remedy for most ills!

Laugh & the world laughs with you, so they say.
Well, to that end, I've been busy creating some humorous greetings cards which will hopefully suit all tastes.
Here's the link...

I will be adding many more over the coming weeks, but I hope these give you a laugh, smile, chuckle, whatever!
Have a great day.

Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen

Serving in any branch of the military in any part of the world means being away from home and family at some point in the year.
Soldiers, sailors & air force personnel, all face this at some time in their career.
It's not easy on them, and it's not easy on their family and friends, but in these days of  mobile multi media, it's much easier to keep in touch.
However, when a special holiday arrives, such as birthday, wedding anniversary, easter, christmas, thanksgiving and July 4th, how great it is to be able to send a greeting card to let them know you're missing and thinking of them.
I think most people would be surprised just how many of these manly service folk keep hold of their greeting cards long after the event.
It's just nice to have something tangible to take a peek at from time to time isn't it!
Happy holidays
